Magnificent Cinematography

Rating: Null/10 (27 December 2000)

Not to give short shrift to the plot or the performances, but a year after seeing this film at the local art house (where it played for exactly one week), what I remember most is the gorgeous widescreen cinematography--particularly in the shore scenes, which I believe were filmed in Odessa. It's a shame that most people, if they see "Legend of 1900" at all, will watch it on a TV screen. If there were any justice in the world, at least one screen in each cineplex would be reserved for fine but overlooked films such as this.
